  • Helpful to know how my pastor thinks.

    So, I am blessed to have Josh as my pastor. Their podcast hits current and hot-button topics from a Biblical and Christ-centered perspective. So I know how he feels or believes about certain topics and he does not have to use the pulpit to share his opinions. He is the best teacher I’ve had in my 38-year walk with Christ. Bob Bowers

  • Enjoyable even for those without beards...

    Thought provoking and laugh inducing - what’s not to like?

    Come to think of it I do have a minor complaint... per Josh’s recommendation in a cringey European accent I did in fact use my duvet instead of my bidet and that has proven to be quite the expensive mishap. I’m running it through the washer for the 5th time right now so I’m hopeful but not necessarily optimistic. Live & learn I guess. Keep up the good work!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Don’t More Churches Sing the Psalms? Trump Tariffs, and the Death of Pope Francis
Q: Why don't most churches sing the Psalms?
Evangelical churches may choose not to sing Psalms due to various interpretations of scripture, with some adhering to the regulative principle which mandates singing specific types of songs, while others follow the normative principle that permits a broader range of worship styles.
Be Not Drunk with Wine- Pt. 1: A Biblical Theology of Alcohol
Q: Is there any difference between buzzed and drunk?

Be Not Drunk with Wine- Pt. 1: A Biblical Theology of Alcohol
Q: How many drinks is too many?
Every person knows their body and their limit, and they should stay far away from that line.
Apostolic Succession: Divine Tradition or Man-Made System?
Q: What are some reasons Protestants don’t typically adopt the apostolic succession view?

The Resurgence of Stoicism and its Clash with Christianity
Q: How does Stoicism align or clash with Christianity?
Stoicism's view of God is impersonal, while Christianity emphasizes a personal relationship with God. While there are some overlapping principles, such as the need for emotional control, significant differences exist regarding suffering and virtue.
